vermont's Prosperity.

Forbes, the Boston Journals YER
mont correspondent contributes to
that sheet a lengthy article on YER
mont's prosperity and backs it up
with valuable statistical tables from
which he infers that protection has
been good for Vermont. The article
in questlonis too long for our columns,
but we give its salient points:
Facts are stubborn things, and it is only
necessary to reproduce the figures of the
census of 1860 and 1880 to refute the as
sertions made to the effect that the agri-
cultural interest has suffered under pro-
lection. The following statistics speak
for themselves:

STATISTICS OF AGRICULTURE.

From the above comparative statement
of the area and value of the farms and the
amount of agricultural production in 1850
and 1880 it will be seen that there has been
a general increase in farms, improved
land, in farm values, in stock and in the
products of the farm. The only interest
that shows depreciation during the Pc
Rod named is the sheep industry. The
decline of this important industry was
very marked from 1910 to 1860. The fig
ures are as follows:
No sheep. Wool, pounds.
1910 l6sl,sl9 3,s90,2
1860 72l 1888 2,o'o,ooa
The loss during this period was over
$50 900 sheep as against loss of 10000
between 1860 and 1880.
Some special products of the farm show
q very large increase during the era of
protection. Take for instance, butter.
The figures representing each decade since
1850 are as follows:
Pounda. Pounds.
1s5O 1879 $50 1870 l7,l37 $50
1850 15,90035O 1880 25,Ao,s26
The number of mich cows has increas-
ed from ia, 667 in 1860 to 2l7 ,204 in 1880.
The productiveness of the large farms is
greater now than before the war, and the
quality of the farm productions has also
been improved.
The high tide of prosperity reached by
Vermont farmers in 1880, as shownby the
last census, has risen still higher since
that period, and there is ample official sta
tistical information at hand to demon
strate that the year 1886 has been the most
prosperous one which the people OF this
State have ever enjoyed. The harvest of
1886 was above the average of previous
seasons, and the total valne of the agri-
cultural production is estimated at $685.
100000. The figures of the last agricul-
tural report show that there has been
quite an increase in the number and value
of live stock in the State since 1880. The
figures January l, 1887, were as follows:

THE FARMERS wIFR.
The farmer same In from the field ono day,
His languid step and his weary way,
His Bonded brow and his sinewy hand
All showing his work for the good of tho land;
For he sows, and hoes, and mows.
All for tho good Of tho land.
BY the kitchen fire stood his patient wife,
Light OF his homo and joy of his life,
With face all aglow and busy hand.
Preparing the meal for her husbands band;
For she must boil. and broil. and toll,
All for the sake of the home.
Sun shiass bright when the farmer goes out,
Birds Sing sweet songs, lambs frisk about,
The brook babblss softly In the glen.
While he works brsvely for the good of the men.
For he sows. and hoes, and mows,
All for the good Of the land.
How briskly the wife steps about within
The dishes to wash and the milk to skim,
The Gre goes out, aud the flies buzz about
For dear ones a, home her heart is kept stout.
There are pies TO make, bread to bake, and steps
to take,
All for the sake Of home.
When the day is DER and the evening has come,
The creatures are fed and the milking 10 done,

From the labor of the land his thoughts arc free
Though he sows, and hoes, and mows,
He rests from tho work of the land

For the household good she must work away;
For to mend the frock, and knit the sock, and tho

All for the good of the home.
When autumn Is here with chilling blast.
The farmer gathers his crop at last,
His barns are full, his fields are bare,
For the good of the land he er hath care,
while II blows, and SHOWS, till the winter goes.
He rests from the work Of tho land.
But the willing wife, till lifes closing day,
Is the chlldren's and the husbands stay.
From day to day she has done her best,
Until death alone can give her rest,
For after the test, the rest, with tho blest
In the farmers heavenly home.
ACROSS THE BROOK.

Her dainty form across the brook,
Like some sweet care, carried;
Scarce later stands in memory's book
The morning we were married.

They shine when on the page look;
Nor fifty years have brought regret
lifted her across the brook.

GEN. HEWITT tells us that under the
new law the assessment Of the property In
the State has been increased sos, 900, 900 in
round numbers. The increase comes prin.
cipally from money and stocks, which have
heretofore escaped taxation; the value Of
town lots has been increased SO per cent
and pereonslty 40 per cent. Under the old
law persons engaged in agriculture paid 81
per cent. Of the entire tsxee; under the new
the proportion has been reduced 10 46 per
cent. In addition to this the rate OF taxa.
ton has been reduced cents on the 500
and the next legislature will reduce II still
further. The farmers and small tax. payers
are greatly helped by the new bill and the
burden Of taxation will be more evenly di
vided on all classes under it. Gen. Hewitt
drew the original bill, making the change
in our revenue laws, and if it had passed
exactly as it came from him, the objections
now urged against it could not be Gus
tanned.
